It worked!

I did what I have been meaning to do for a long time...I took out a kid's cookbook from the library and let R choose a recipe from it. Apparently distracted by the pride of choosing the recipe, he ate some things (tomatoes, diced red pepper) that he usually quickly picks out of the mix.

He chose a southwest variation on Shepherd's Pie that we tweaked and adapted and came up with:

Brown the meat, onion, red pepper and garlic until the meat is fully cooked. Drain any extra fat. Add the corn and tomatoes, mix well. Add the corn starch, and spices (chili powder through paprika) and mix well, remove from heat.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a separate bowl, mix the corn bread mixes, eggs and milk until just blended. In a 2 quart baking dish or 9x13 pan, Pour in the meat mixture. Top with the corn bread.

Hi, I'm Debbie. You have a great blog here. I love celebrating family, food, fun and friends. I'll be back to check out more of your recipes. Please stop by and say hello, I love making new blogging friends!

I have been buying my youngest brother childrens cookbooks for years now every Christmas and he cooks his way through each one. He is now 12 and way more accomplished than I ever was! He loves looking at the pictures and picking out meals for "his" night.

About Me

It seems like a distant memory, but years ago I relished making involved, gourmet meals. Now my goal is to create healthy meals that appeal both to me and my husband and the palates of my two Sweet Pea boys. Journey with me through my victories and defeats.
